Ghost In The Shell - The Rising
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex is a TV anime series and adaptation of Shirow Masamune's Ghost in the Shell manga. It tells the story of Public Security Section 9, a covert counter-terrorist task force working for the Japanese government in a Post-Cyberpunk future. Led by Major Motoko Kusanagi (a no-nonsense female cyborg), Section 9 specializes in the rising threat of cybercrime facilitated by the ubiquity of cybernetic bodies/implants in the future.
Ghost in the Shell - The Rising
Es así que en este futuro avanzado, la aplicación cotidiana de la tecnología cyborg y el perfeccionamiento de las inteligencias artificiales hace difusa la línea entre los seres vivos y las emulaciones, por ello es que lo único que valida a un ser vivo como un humano con derechos es la existencia de su ghost, un atributo del cerebro humano que es virtualmente etéreo y lo faculta para generar la auto-consciencia, emociones, individualidad y todos los aspectos que pueden ser calificados como la personalidad o alma. El ghost de un individuo puede incluso ser removido parcial o totalmente del cerebro y trasladado a implantes o maquinaria, siendo aun así el individuo reconocido como tal mientras este elemento permanezca intacto. De esta forma, la narrativa presenta una problemática que engloba a todas las anteriores: cómo definir la identidad (ya sea de un individuo o de una máquina).
The Spirit Tortoise is massive tortoise with a mountain and the city of Reiki on its shell. Throughout the mountain range there is occasional cracks that allow access into the interior of the Spirit Tortoise. When the beast charges it's electric beam attack, it's entire torso glows as the energy collects at the mouth.
After the Spirit Tortoise was improperly killed the first time, it came back in a more terrible form. This time, the Spirit Tortoise's eyes glowed red while a long web of drool dangled from its draping mouth. Whatever remained of the town on its back was destroyed and the shell was now covered in towering spike-long thorns that acts like missiles. During its fight with Fitoria, the Spirit Tortoise had grown several more heads.
The corpse of the Spirit Tortoise remained outside of Melromarc's Castle Town. It was later harvested for parts while perishable items such as its flesh were disposed of. Being too massive to actually bother moving the beast out of the way, the Queen decides it will simply be better to leave its mountainous shell where it came to lay.
Today the commissary concept lies at the heart of the ghost restaurant trend, helping entrepreneurs cut labor costs and rent real estate in an unassuming building rather than an expensive stretch with heavy foot traffic. Diners appear less and less concerned about their familiarity with restaurants themselves and more, it seems, about the quality of the food delivered to the comfort of their home or office.
But that disconnect negates a pillar of hospitality, eliminating touchpoints between restaurant and customer. To understand how ghost kitchens or virtual restaurants could grow despite this gap, perhaps the first step is to forget about restaurants. Start instead where customers begin their search for food on demand, which is often on Grubhub and disruptive competitors DoorDash, Uber Eats and Postmates.
This strategic choice differentiates Uber Eats' take on the "ghost restaurant" from others like Green Summit Group's shared kitchen. All of Uber Eats' virtual restaurants currently operate within a traditional restaurant kitchen, which promotes transparency.
A ghost kitchen can also refer to the use of an existing kitchen for an additional purpose. A restaurant taps into available capacity in their space and equipment and uses it to prepare food for a digital-only brand (or two) that is available exclusively via delivery.
The final version of a ghost kitchen is a standalone operation from which multiple brands typically operate, either as delivery-centric or food truck-style restaurants. They are not tied to a traditional dine-in location.
Unlike previous Badges, the level at which traded Pokémon will obey the player goes up by ten per Badge, rather than the previous system of rising twenty levels after every even-numbered Badge. They can be polished like Sinnoh's Badges, although they do not make different notes when polished at the same level. Instead, the picture of the Gym Leader from whom the Badge was earned gets grayer.
Scientists fear the Albemarle-Pamlico Peninsula could follow a similar path. Freshwater wetland forests and shrubby evergreen bogs could be decimated by rising seas and absorbed by advancing coastal marsh.
As with other sealed towers dotted around the Lands Between, you need to interact with the imp statue outside which tells you to "Seek three great wise beasts". This causes three ghostly turtles to spawn around the area, and you'll need to find and attack each one to break the seal blocking your access to the tower.

They have the highest physical armor of any enemy in Kingdom Rush: Frontiers (excluding Ghosts and Phantom Warriors).
Bloodshells lack the unstoppable true damage power of Saurian Brutes. Rather, their specialty is to shrug off almost all kinds of damage: Artillery (including Core Drill, Dynamite, Fat Boy) is absolutely harmless to them due to their passive ability, and their great physical armor makes it so they are effectively immune to physical damage (With 64000 EHP on veteran). Even a fully upgraded Rain of Fire can't kill them due to their extremely high HP. Basically, Bloodshells can be considered a stronger Dark Slayer that forces the player to use Wizard Towers, which are useless against the Bluegales.
